The Ski Resort
The Zinkenlifte are located at Dürrnberg near Hallein. A chair lift and three drag lifts transport the guests to the 8 kilometres of slopes.
Beginners exercise on the Dürrnberg drag lift, which takes winter sports enthusiasts to 935 metres above sea level. Return to the valley station on a blue marked slope. A longer descent, also marked blue, offers the route from the Rotten lift (the car park is above the Dürrnberg drag lift). Kids get assistance with the first turns in the snow from the Ski school Meisl and can use the ski school lift.
Advanced skiers ride with the Zinken double chairlift up to the Zinkenstüberl at 1,330 m altitude. From there, there are two red marked slopes for downhill skiing. If you don't want to land in the valley again, use the upper Zinkenlift. Sporty skiers dare to descend the only run marked in black (0.5 km) from the Zinkenstüberl. After a short distance of 500 metres, this leads to a red marked slope towards the valley or to the upper Zinkenlift.
